Clint Dempsey will look to regain match fitness before Fulham's Europa League final next week, while Mike Grella and Eric Lichaj both needs win to secure their teams' respective promotion or safety in the closing day in England.

Clint Dempsey could make his Premier League return for Fulham against Tim Howard's Everton while Aston Villa look to continue their push for fourth place as a full slate of English action is on the table.

Clint Dempsey will miss at least today's UEFA game against Wolfsburg and this weekend's Premier League game against Liverpool because of a thigh injury he sustained in the final minutes of Sunday's game against Wigan.

Having dispatched of holders Donetsk and Italian powerhouse Juventus, Clint Dempsey and the Cottagers open their two-game tilt against Wolfsburg in Craven Cottage with the Europa League title in their focus.

The Cottagers continued their undefeated home record in Thursday's Europa League quarterfinal, but conceded an away goal in the waning minutes that the Germans will gladly carry with them for next week's return leg.
